We ignite the financial empowerment journey for Bay Area youth, instilling vital lessons in personal finance, from mastering credit to savvy investing and beyond. Led by passionate volunteers from the finance industry, our transformative classes unlock the doors to financial literacy, paving the way to brighter futures.

In today’s world, navigating the sea of financial decisions is more complicated than ever.
Young people need to understand the basic principles of personal finance before they enter adulthood.

Many States have already implemented mandatory personal finance instruction in high school, but California still has no requirement – and is rated one of the lowest of all States when it comes to financial education.

Our programs address this gap in our education system.

We provide critical resources and support for Bay Area teachers and students, giving them the tools they need to make informed decisions about their finances.
